The Oberoi Amar Vilas Agra 
Its plush rooms will soothe every tired bone in your body; the warm service will act as balm on your soul. And if that's not enough, all you need to do is open a window, or step out of a door, and you'll find a view of the Taj Mahal in all its glory. This is just the beginning of a holiday in absolute luxury at the Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra.
Inspired by Mughal architecture, with distinct shades of Persian, Moorish and Indian design, the Oberoi Amarvilas is designed to heighten your experience of the glory of the Mughal Empire. Pools, gardens, fountains and pavilions add grandeur to this luxury hotel. The hotel is an oasis of comfort set among the bustle of Agra.
As you enter, the richness of the blue-and-gold hall dazzles you, and you get your first glimpse of the Taj Mahal. For a true-blue luxury holiday, book yourself into the Kohinoor suite at the Amarvilas. This suite comes with a large living room, study, dining room and bedroom. You can spend a quiet afternoon on the open-air terrace here, or even gaze at the Taj Mahal as you soak in a luxurious bath. The Amarvilas also offers an exciting choice between deluxe rooms and luxury suites.
When you're done with feasting your eyes on the monument to love and satiating your soul, it's time to turn to the culinary temptations that the Amarvilas offers. Take your pick of salads, grills, pastas and lip-smacking dessert at Bellevue, the restaurant that serves Asian-Mediterranean fusion cuisine. If you can't decide what to order off the menu, just go with the magnificent buffet here. What's more, Bellevue also has a special child menu that brings together just the kind of food your children would love to tuck in to.
If you're incredibly hooked on to the Taj, you can find out more about it at the Bar. An antique map of the Taj Mahal occupies pride of place here, and you can read this map and look out at the real thing itself, between sips of your favorite drink.
If you're more into brews and potions, give the Bar a ski and drop by at the Lobby Lounge. This 24-hour coffee shop is bright, airy and cheerful and will leave you feeling that way too. Liven up your day with a warm, steaming cuppa here.
Add to the luxury of your holiday with a revitalizing afternoon spent inside the Oberoi Amarvilas Spa. The massages, treatments and beauty therapies the spa offers will leave you feeling like royalty. Get a refreshing Rose Sandalwood Wrap or pamper yourself with an aromatherapy massage. You can also step into the invigorating whirlpool bath at the spa and watch that stress melts away.
As the stars cluster around the night sky and the day winds to an end, make your way to the swimming pool set amid a terraced garden. Marble pillars stand guard over you, and the sky is bathed in moonlight, as you swim a few laps around the torch-lit pool.
